sinthepaperlastnight.从这句话中可以看出她得知职位信息的来源是thepaperlastnight，对应A选项。23.Whydidthewomanfindthejobappealing?【答案】BShecouldworkclosetoherfamily.【解析】本题关键词是appealing，意为引起兴趣的。女士提到她喜欢这份工作的原因是beneartothefamily.，close是near的同义替换词，因此选择B选项。24.WhathadthewomanbeendoinginGeneva?【答案】CWorkingasasecretary.【解析】女士提到她在日内瓦做了一些secretarialwork，也就是选项C中的secretary。虽然她也提到之前在大学学习，但是她取得的学位是adegreeinEnglish，而非选项D中的adegreeinFrench.25.Whatwasthewomanaskedtodointheend?【答案】CSendinawrittenapplicationassoonaspossible.【解析】对话中女士希望得到面试机会，但是男士要求先要递交书面申请（replyawritingtotheadvertisement），并不是所有人都能得到面试机会，因此选择答案C。第二篇：大学英语四级听力真题高分句型总结在线学英语体验请申请：洛基英语，中国在线英语教育领导品牌否定句ButSodidI.but„(199301-7)Iwish„but„(199301-9)Iwantto„but„(199301-10)planto„„but„(199306-3)I’msorrytohearitbut„(199306-4)I’dlovetobut„(199301-8)(199401-3)(199501-7)(199701-8)(199801-9)I’dliketobut„(20XX09-2)(20XX12-6)I’msorryyoufeelthatwaybut„(199506-3)sure„but„(199506-4)Buttheproblemisthat„(199601-6)Thatmaybetrueforyou,butitcertainlyisn’ttrueforme(199701-6)Iwill„but„(199706-9)Thankyouforyouradvicebut„(199706-10)Thatistrue„but„(199801-6)But„isnteverything(20XX12-3)Ithought„but„(20XX12-5)Soundsgreat.But...(20XX01-3)Not/Never在线学英语体验请申请：„„doesn’tagreewithme(199306-1)Idon’tthinkso(199306-9)No,thankyou.(199501-6)I’mnotusedtodoingsth(199501-6)(20XX01-7)I’venever„(199606-6)(20XX01-1)Thereisnoneedto„(199901-3)Itdoesn’tmatter(20XX01-3)Idon’tthinkit„(20XX06-7)(20XX01-8)Idontknowforsure(20XX01-2)ImafraidIcan't„(20XX01-7)(20XX12-1)Ican’tbelieveit„(20XX09-4)Idontcare(20XX12-8)Ireallycan’tafford„(20XX12-10)“弄错”Youmustbethinkingofsomeoneelse(199606-2)Youmusthavemadeamistake(20XX06-10)反问表否定Howcouldyoudosth(20XX01-5)(20XX01-9)really?(20XX01-8)Shouldhedothat„(20XX06-6)“成千上万人疯狂下载。。。在线学英语体验请申请：更多价值连城的绝密英语学习资料，洛基内部秘密英语，技巧，策略请在网上申请报名”第三篇：20XX年12月大学英语四级听力真题MP3下载20XX年12月大学英语四级听力真题MP3下载11.W:Thiscrazybusschedulehasgotmecompletelyconfused.Ican’tfigureoutwhenmybustoClevelandleaves?M:Whydon’tyoujustgototheticketwindowandask?Q:Whatdoesthemansuggestthewomando?【答案】B)Goandaskthestaff.【解析】这是一道事实细节题。从对话中可知，女士搞不清楚列车时刻表，男士建议她去售票窗口咨询。ticketwindow售票窗口。12.W:IreallyenjoyedtheTVspecialaboutdraftslastnight.Didyougethomeintimetoseeit?W:Oh,yes,butIwishIcouldhavestayedawakelongenoughtoseethewholething.Q:Whatdoesthemanmean?【答案】A)HefellasleepinthemiddleoftheTVprogram.【解析】这是道推理判断题，考查男士的言下之意以及虚拟语气。couldhavedone意为本可以做某事，但未做。从对话中可知，男士确实回家看了电视节目，但是他说道：IwishIcouldhavestayedawakelongenoughtoseethewholething.我真希望自己当时能再晚点睡着，这样我就可以看完整场节目了。说明他没有看完整场节目就睡着了。13.W:Airport,please.I’mrunningalittlelate.Sojusttakethefastestwayevenifit’snotthemostdirect.M:Sure,butthereisalotoftrafficeverywheretodaybecauseofthefootballgame.Q:Whatdowelearnaboutthewomanfromtheconversation?【答案】B)Sheisworriedaboutmissingherflight.【解析】这是道场景题，略有难度。刚开始，我们还无法很快判断出该对话发生的场景，很多同学一听到airport可能会误以为对话发生在机场，但如果我们继续听下去，就会发现，该对话应该发生在出租车上，因为女士说了句“请选择最快的路”，而男士说“因为有球赛，所以到处都交通拥堵”可以帮助我们再次确认对话发生的场景。选项A不对，原文是说要挑thefastestway哪怕不是themostdirectway；选项C也不准确，才刚上车，并没有拥堵，司机只是提前说明因为球赛会碰到拥堵；选项D错误，女士是为了赶去乘飞机的，而不是去看球赛。14.W:MayImakearecommendation,sir?Ourseafoodwiththisspecialsauceisverygood.M:Thankyou,butIdon’teatshellfish.I’mallergictoit.Q:Wheredoesthisconversationmostprobablytakeplace?【答案】A)Atarestaurant【解析】这是道场景题，较为简单。从对话中可知，女士希望向男士推荐一道菜，从首句中即可推断出该对话最有可能发生在餐馆中，男士说，他过敏，不吃贝壳类海鲜，可以帮助我们再次确认对话发生的场景。15.W:Nowonemorequestionifyoudon’tmind,whatpositioninthecompanyappealstoyoumost?M:Well,I’dlikethepositionofsalesmanagerifthatpositionisstillvacant.Q:Whatdowelearnabouttheman?【答案】A)Heisbeinginterviewedforajob.【解析】这是较为简单的细节推理题。从position,company这几个关键词中，我们就可以快速判断出此题的场景为面试，因此男士应该正在接受一场面试。C选项错误，他想要销售经理的职位，但并不表示他本身就是销售经理。16.M:Idon’tthinkIwanttoliveinthedormitorynextyear.Ineedmoreprivacy.W:Iknowwhatyoumean.Butcheckoutthecostifrentinganapartmentfirst.Iwon’tbesurprisedifyouchangeyourmind.Q:Whatdoesthewomanimply?【答案】B)Themanisunlikelytomoveoutofthedormitory.【解析】这是推理判断题，询问女士的言下之意。最后一句，女士表示“你改变主意的话，我不会觉得奇怪”，可知，男士不太可能搬出宿舍。A选项是个干扰项，虽然该选项看上去意思和B选项差不多，但对话中并没有提到男士想找一个更安静的地方，他想搬离寝室，是为了更多的个人空间。17.M:You’reontherighttrack.Ijustthinkyouneedtonarrowthetopicdown.W:Yeah,you’reright.IalwaysstartbychoosingtwoboardertopicswhenI’mdoingaresearchpaper.Q:Whatdowelearnfromtheconversation?【答案】D)Thewomanisgoingtomakehertopicmorefocused.【解析】这是推理判断题。从对话中可知，男士希望女士缩小主题的范围，女士回答“你是对的。”说明女士会采纳男士的建议，缩小主题。18.W:Thispicnicshouldbeatthelastonewewentto,doesn’tit?M:Oh,yeah,wehadtospendthewholetimeinside.Goodthing,theweatherwascooperativethistime.Q:Whatdowelearnaboutthespeakersfromtheconversation?【答案】B)Theydidn’tquiteenjoytheirlastpicnic.【解析】这是推理判断题。beat一词是个难点，beat本意有“打败”的意思，这次的野餐打败了上次，即这次比上次好，下文中，男士说“上次我们不得不呆在室内，但这次天气不错。”可以再次确认他们不喜欢上次的野餐，因此，正确答案为B。ConversationOne【听力原文】M:WhenIsayIliveinSweden,peoplealwayswanttoknowabouttheseasons.W:Theseasons?M:Yeah,youknowhowcolditisinwinter?Whatisitlikewhenthedaysaresoshort?W:Sowhatisitlike?M:Well,itiscold,verycoldinwinter.Sometimesitiscoldas26degreesbelowcentigrade.Andofcoursewhenyougoout,you’llwrapupwarm.Butinsideinthehousesit’salwaysverywarm,muchwarmerthanathome.SwedishpeoplealwayscomplainthatwhentheyvisitEngland,thehousesarecoldeveninthego
